The reason why these patrols pretended not to see Lu Chen and his group, and even avoided Lu Chen and his group, was because they got hints from Liu Hongji. When Liu Hongji returned to Chang'an that day, he greeted the people below, so this The Xiaowei patrols on both sides of the gang also paid special attention to the Chang'an County Lord.
Tonight, Lu Chen led his troops directly into Chang'an City. Naturally, the patrol team hid from Lu Chen and left, pretending not to notice. If they had any responsibilities then, they would also act under orders. Naturally, it was the higher-ups who took responsibility.
Naturally, there are still pedestrians on the streets. Although the city gate is closed, it is not yet the curfew, so there are still many pedestrians and vendors on Chang'an Street. These pedestrians and vendors all saw and heard Lu Chen. The sound of the hooves of this large group of people stopped to watch. They looked curiously towards the direction in which Lu Chen and the others were coming. They all speculated on what happened to attract so many cavalry to appear in Chang'an City.
At this time, Li Yuan, who was reviewing the memorial in Nuange, also received Chang Bao's report.
"Your Majesty, Duke Lu led a large group of troops and rushed into Chang'an City on the eve of the city gate!" Chang Bao bowed and reported to Li Yuan.
"What's the matter?" After receiving Chang Bao's report, Li Yuan was also stunned. He directly put down the imperial pen in his hand and looked at Chang Bao and asked.
"I don't know! But according to reports from bad guys, Su Dingfang and Du Junchuo under Lu Chen went to the Zheng Mansion earlier today, made a big fuss in front of the Zheng Mansion, and then were caught inside the Zheng Mansion!" Chang Bao continued to report.
"Such a thing happened in Chang'an City today? Why didn't you report it to me?" Chang Bao actually reported to him what happened in the afternoon just now. Li Yuan suddenly frowned and looked at Chang Bao with some displeasure, and spoke with a hint of displeasure. There was some sense of blame.
"This slave was negligent!" When Chang Bao saw Li Yuan's displeased expression, he hurriedly apologized, "This slave thought this was just a little joke between Duke Lu and Zheng Shangshu, so he It was not reported!" Chang Bao explained for himself.
"Have I told you? Everything related to Lu Chen in Chang'an City must be reported to me. Have you forgotten about this?" Li Yuan took a deep look at Chang Bao. Chang Bao was attracted by Li Yuan At this glance, his head dropped even further, "Although I asked you not to send bad people to investigate Lujiazhuang, are you so negligent about the trouble in Chang'an City?" Li Yuan looked at Chang Bao and snorted coldly.
"Yes! Your Majesty is right! It's my fault! I know you're guilty!" Chang Bao bowed and saluted repeatedly, accusing him again and again.
"Chang Bao! You are also an old man next to me. It can be said that you are the person I trust most! If you are so negligent, who can I trust?" Seeing Chang Bao's confession, Li Yuan sighed He took a breath and said in a softened tone.
"Yes! I will send someone to keep an eye on Duke Lu and his party!" Chang Bao's expression of shame and emotion changed one after another, and he bowed deeply to Li Yuan and said.
"Well! Remember to keep an eye on him and don't take any action. You must let me know what happened. Do you understand?" Li Yuan warned Chang Bao.
"Yes!" Chang Bao bowed and saluted, and then exited the Nuan Pavilion.
"I really don't know what this kid is up to! But rushing into Chang'an City with such a big fanfare is probably enough for that old boy from the Zheng family! Chang'an City is really lively today!" Li Yuan held the writing brush in his hand and thought in his heart After pondering for a while, he chuckled, and then continued to review the memorial on the Long's desk in front of him.
During the time when Lu Chen entered the city, servants from the houses of officials and nobles from various aristocratic families, and even the houses of princes and princesses, reported the fact that Lu Chen led his team into the city. Naturally, some people Some people were watching the excitement, while some were gloating about the misfortune. However, the dukes and princes who were familiar with Lu Chen, as well as Li Xiuning and Chai Shao, could not sit still.
Lu Chen brought people into the city with such a big fanfare, it was definitely a bad sign. Although Lu Chen had told them before that something would happen in the next few days, they never expected that Lu Chen would do it with such an alarming momentum.
"Xiuning, you have to do this for your husband!" After receiving the report from his servant, Chai Shao directly asked his servant to change his clothes, and then said to Li Xiuning.
"Husband, what will you do if you go?" Li Xiuning, who was sitting aside, looked at Chai Shao and asked.
"This..." Chai Shao, who was being dressed by his servants, was stunned when Li Xiuning asked him this question. He just thought about going to Lu Chen's place to see what was going on, but he really didn't think about it. When Lu Chen really wanted to cause trouble, what would he do?
"I know Lu Chen better than you. Don't look at his usual smiling face. If he really wants to do something, I'm afraid no one in the world can stop him, not even me Aye. , You know, when Lu Chen became the military advisor of my Women’s Army, it was because of my request!” Li Xiuning looked at Chai Shao and said.
"My husband naturally knows Lu Xiandi's temper. I am here just to ensure that Lu Xiandi does not get hurt!" How could Chai Shao not understand what Li Xiuning meant? He nodded directly, then thought about it and said.
"Husband, I'm afraid no one in this world can hurt Lu Chen!" Hearing Chai Shao's words, Li Xiuning laughed. She knew very well how Liu Heitai died. If Lu Chen wanted someone's life, There is no way he would enter the city with such a big fanfare. He only needs to enter the city quietly and turn around, and that person will die a violent death.
"Then Brother Lu Xiuning is so brave?" Upon hearing Li Xiuning's words, Chai Shao looked at Li Xiuning in surprise. If it hadn't been for what happened today, Li Xiuning would definitely not have told him this.
"Brave?" Hearing Chai Shao's adjective to Lu Chen, Li Xiuning smiled even more cheerfully, "I don't know whether Lu Chen is brave or not, but I don't know how many tricks he has, but you and I can't imagine it!"
"Madam, what you said makes sense!" Chai Shao nodded. The things Lu Chen created alone are beyond the imagination of ordinary people. What's more, if Lu Chen only wanted to kill someone, how many methods could he use? , it’s really not something he can imagine.
"But it's good for my husband to go there!" Li Xiuning put away her smile and looked at Chai Shao solemnly and said, "Lu Chen thinks about us in everything. At this time, it is also time to express the position of my princess's house!" Speaking of this, Li Xiuning's beautiful eyes flashed, and the majesty of the commander-in-chief of the Detachment of Women suddenly emerged from Li Xiuning.
"Then let's get going!" Chai Shao nodded, opened the door and walked out.
At this time, Cheng Yaojin and Qin Qiong were also at home, dressed neatly, and went out directly with two personal guards.
Lu Chen led thirty back-wei guards and headed straight for Zheng Shanguo's Shangshu Mansion.
The lights in Zheng's mansion were now brightly lit, and Zheng Shanguo summoned the martial arts masters and guards who guarded the home at home, including some strong servants, to the front hall.
Apparently, Zheng Shanguo had also received the news of Lu Chen's arrival in the city. He was sitting in the middle with a gloomy face, looking at the servants and guards who were standing in the front hall, as well as the martial arts guards.
"As the saying goes, it takes a thousand days to raise an army, but it takes only a moment to use it. Today is the day to use it. The Duke of County Lu is coming fiercely, and I have detained two of his family members. I am afraid that things will not be rectified today, so you need to help! "Zheng Shanguo looked at the people standing in the hall and said loudly.
"I am willing to serve the Zheng family!" These people responded in unison.
"You just need to give Lu Chen some hardships, let him retreat, and let me have the right to speak! Remember, don't hurt people's lives!" Zheng Shanguo warned these people a few words, and then waved his hand, "Everyone Go get ready!”
Zheng Shanguo also knew that two people could fight, and it wouldn't be a problem even if a few were injured. At that time, it would just be a fight between two families, with each other hurting. If Li Yuan found out, he would at most be scolded and punished by Li Yuan. If there is a lawsuit that hurts people's lives, then the matter will be serious. The two families will definitely fight to the death. The final result is that there can only be one Zheng family and Lu Chen. Judging from the methods Lu Chen has shown now, Lu Chen Chen Gan was so confident that he definitely had a back-up plan, but Zheng Shanguo didn't know what that back-up plan was.
Now Zheng Shanguo even regrets not giving Lu Chen an "advance payment", but there is no regret medicine in this world. At this point, Zheng Shanguo can only bite the bullet.
"Yes!" After these people responded in unison, they exited the front hall one after another, and only Zheng Shanguo and his butler Zheng Jin were left in the front hall.
"Hey!" When these people dispersed and prepared for Lu Chen's arrival, Zheng Shanguo let out a long sigh.
"Why do you sigh, sir?" Zheng Jin saw Zheng Shanguo sighing and hurriedly came over to ask.
"I don't know if these people can stop Lu Chen!" Zheng Shanguo said sadly.
"Sir, our guards are all experienced in many battles, and most of them are descendants of the Zheng family. There is absolutely no problem with loyalty!" Zheng Jin thought that Zheng Shanguo was worried that his guards would appear "before the battle." Timid" question, and then he said it in a comforting tone.
"No!" Hearing Zheng Jin's words, Zheng Shanguo shook his head, "As far as I know, the fifty Beiwei guards around Lu Chen were selected from the Women's Army. Since entering Lujiazhuang, Apart from guarding Lujiazhuang, they have not taken any action, but I have heard someone say that each backwei guard consumes several times the food of an ordinary soldier alone, plus the backwei armor designed by Lu Chen, Bailian Even a sword can't cut it open, but it can't be broken..." At this point, Zheng Shanguo stopped talking, but suddenly raised his head and looked outside the front hall, in the direction of the door.
